Once in a Great City by David Maraniss
It's 1963 and Detroit is on top of the world. The city's leaders are among the most visionary in America. Once in a Great City shows that the shadows of collapse were evident even then. Before the devastating riot. Before the decades of civic corruption and neglect, and white flight. Detroit at its peak was threatened by its own design.
